It seems that a constant feeling of fatigue has become part of the American way of life.
Research shows that the same processes that cause a lack of energy can rob us of sleep, saddle us with excess weight, disrupt our hormonal balance, and create significant amounts of stress in our daily lives. Chronic stress can dramatically contribute to fatigue, sleep disorders, irritability, and anxiety. This research simply confirms what most of us already know....uncomfortable stress can really wear us out mentally and physically. It can take away the satisfaction of a job well done. It can take away our ability to believe in ourselves. And, sadly, and maybe most importantly, continual stress can take the fun and joy out of life.
A simple 3 step process from Jabob A Teitelbaum, M.D. may help. You do not have to accept pain, insomnia, or fatigue.
Step 1...nutrition...Good overall nutrition is important for everyone! A high potency vitamin B complex is important. It should include niacinamide, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, and choline, which are especially important to restore teh energy production needs of your body.
Step 2...rest your body......Good quality sleep is how the body repairs and re energizes itself. It may be helpful to use herbal products to promote good quality sleep. There are many natural supplements that are marketed as sleep formulas.. Look for a supplement that has a blend of herbs that promote sleep, like valarian, L-theanine, hops, passionflower, etc. Each herb addresses a different aspect of sleeplessness and tension caused by stress.
Step 3....manage excess stress levels.....It is important to learn the stressors in our lives. Glandular extracts such as raw adrenal extract, can offer natural support to help our bodies deal with the effects of stress, and in turn, can boost your energy levels. Exercise is another stress buster. Using your body physically is important for good health. Find something that is fun for you and you are more likely to stick with it.
